Connection Habits Meet Real Life

Rev. Henry Reyenga Jr.

J.R.Miller
All ordinances of Christian worship--seasons of prayer and devotion, hours of communion with God--are quiet resting-places. Far more than we are apt to realize do we need these silent times in our busy life, needing them all the more the busier the life may be.

Home Discipleship Is One Meal At A Time So To Speak

Dr. David Burns... Imagine, he writes, that every time you sat down to eat, you thought about all the food you would have to eat during your lifetime. Imagine a huge room with tons of meat, vegetables, Twinkies and Fritos, and thousands of gallons of ice cream -- and before you die you've got to consume every bite. "Just the sight of it all makes me sick,” we would say. "This one little meal is a drop in the bucket. There's no point in eating it.” The secret is, of course, we eat only one meal at a time. It's amazing how much we can consume in a lifetime if we eat it one meal at a time.

Real Life Is About Law And Grace

Law - Activism

Grace -Forgiving Failure

Habits Are About Management

Effective management of priorities brings great result

Matt. 25: 20-21 "'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.' His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'”

Fight To Get Good Habits

Bad habits are caught easily, good habits are planted and cultivated.

Managing Your Own Household

Proverbs 27:18 (NIV)
He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and he who looks after his master will be honored.

Christian Leaders Seek To Manage Their Time And Their Family


The issues in your personal life are great training for ministry leadership.
1 Timothy 3:4-5 (NIV)
 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?)

My prayer for you!

Romans 16:20    The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

Watch Out Not To Be Too Busy

"Driven people are usually abnormally busy. They are usually too busy for the pursuit of ordinary relationships in marriage, family, or friendship ... not to speak of one with God.” Exley, R., Galli, M., & Ortberg, J. (1994). Dangers, toils & snares : Resisting the hidden temptations of ministry. Mastering ministry's pressure points (Page 46). Sisters, Or.: Multnomah Books.
